The Garden of Lost Memories by Ruby Hummingbird

If someone had even brought up the topic of how many variations of an old woman and an unlikely child who brings her happiness could successfully be written, I would have said one or two. With this book, I realise I may have been off in my estimations. This not the first of its type…

Double Blind by Sara Winokur

This is a semi- police procedural based in Iceland. I knew nothing about the deeper issues between Denmark and Iceland, but I got a full lesson here! The story itself was interesting but felt like a second book type material instead of a first. Every person we encounter has a back story that we only…

Open Carry and Stone Cross by Marc Cameron

I have had this on my virtual shelf for over a year. I finally read it when I saw that it had a second book releasing in March. This may seem an odd thing to do when I did not actually manage to sit and read the first one quickly. The fact of the matter…

Hotel Du Jack And Other Stories by Dan Brotzel

I waffled quite a bit, back and forth with a lot of points for either idea about expanding on individual stories or writing an all-encompassing review. The latter plan gained more traction when I started listing out personal one line reactions and realised it would involve me saying more than the book does during a…

Radical Spirits by Nandini Patwardhan

I have been so fidgety the last week or two that I read one chapter each of a lot more books than I usually read simultaneously. I kept it up, hoping to break the barrier at some point and start finishing them (one at a time). As most other ardent readers would acknowledge, the boost…

The Confessions of Jonathan Flite and the Release of Jonathan Flite by Matthew J. Beier

This is the oldest book on my NetGalley list, and I finally got around to reading it. The strange fact is not how long it took for me to get to this and read it thoroughly but that the deeper I got into the story. It went from a book I almost gave up on…

Origami Man (Gibson Vaughn #5) by Matthew FitzSimmons

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin I've read and reviewed other books in this series before: I am still trying to get the hang of reading and reviewing with my usual routine entirely out of whack. I have high hopes for the following week. Given the chaotic times, we are in now, I was surprised at how…

#FlashbackFriday April 2019

April is surprisingly here! Although it is hard to differentiate one day from the next because the entire world seems to be on my usual schedule versus how I used their previous routines to time my own. One thing that did not change was my eagerness to dive into this meme that I try to…
